Are you looking for something different? Thinking of a way to spice up your event/party? Then I am happy to introduce
PartyPics, the fun photobooth and photo-souvenir service!
With headquarters in Metro Manila, PartyPics Inc., is a leading photobooth supplier specializing in on-the-spot/instant 4R-sized photo-souvenirs. We were voted as one of the Top Ten Suppliers of 2008 by the Weddings At Work (W@W) community among hundreds of wedding suppliers in Metro Manila - an honor, considering we just started operating May of that year; plus, out of the many photo booth suppliers in the area, we were the only one to make it to the list. We have covered more than 450 events (weddings, debuts, christenings, corporate events, etc.) in less than a year of operation in our nation’s capital and neighboring cities. And for being the very first Manila-based photobooth service to set up office here, we can finally offer the same top-quality service at the same affordable rates!
So wherever your event is in Cebu – Lapu-Lapu City in Mactan Island? Mandaue? or in the capital itself? – PartyPics will be there*!

some FAQs
Exactly how does your service work?
- Remember "Foto-Me?" Where people would go to have their picture taken for their ID? It's something like that; it takes 4 shots and everything is automatic. But that's where the similarity ends. With PartyPics, you don't go into a booth to have your picture taken. Your background is a 6x6-foot custom-designed tarpaulin based on your event. The onsite technician presses a button that will trigger a countdown timer shown on a monitor, so that you know when to pose for the shot (be ready on 1!) - you have approximately 3 seconds to come up with your next pose. After the 4th/last shot, you can get your picture after a minute
4 shots..? Why not just one or two?
- Unfortunately, we're still working on how to go about that; hopefully, we'll be able to offer that soon
So right now our software's minimum setting is 4 shots or a maximum of 6 - this, however, will make the shots look quite small on the actual picture (remember: the size is 4R).
3 seconds..? Isn't that a bit too fast?
- Maybe so, but if we adjust it to, 5 seconds, for example, that means longer wait time for the next one in line and less pictures since it would take a while for the 4 shots to finish. I suggest you think of your poses while you're still in line
Can you temporarily 'pause' service? (to give way to a wedding reception's program, for example)
- No problem! Our software has a timer such that we can monitor how long the service has been in operation, even down to the second! So we can resume and make sure you're getting you're money's worth. However, we can only do this for so long; specifically: 30mins for Bronze package, 45mins for Silver package, and 1hr for Gold package. We're a bit strict with this "stop time" but not so much with the actual minutes that you pay for as we even give extra minutes. And besides, it would be rude to just pack up on the dot and leave, right? So if we say, "we're done," it means we've already exceeded the extra minutes
Our event is at "Unsa" Hotel/restaurant. That's okay, right?
- Yes, of course! Just make sure that there is ample space (at least 2x3 square meters with access to electricity) and to secure permits from the establishment if they require any. Advise your coordinator (if you have one) and let them take care of it; we'll provide them a list of equipment to be brought in if needed.
We will not be held liable for being late if such permits were not secured beforehand

** some venues that require a permit/pass: Marriott, Grand Con, Waterfront Lahug, Shangri-La Mactan
How am I assured the slot for the date that I'll have my event?
- A
non-refundable reservation fee of php2,500 is all that's needed for that (cash or cheque). You can coordinate for a meeting or you can deposit this to our Metrobank current account # 3127312201115. If you'll be taking this route, please inform me before and after making the deposit to make sure that we finalize the correct date and avoid unidentified transactions (
note: there is a php50 fee for interbranch cash deposits but none for cheques)
I've already paid the reservation fee but my event was cancelled/postponed..?
- That is quite a predicament but the reservation fee is still good and hopefully, we can still accomodate you on your new preferred date.
Our event will exceed 4 hours. Can we extend for another hour or so?
- Yes, definitely! Extensions are php2,500 per hour *same will apply if hours of operation will exceed initial contract/agreement; although we always bring extra supplies, i suggest you take into consideration the number of guests you'll be having to avoid this situation
I saw on your website that you offer photo magnets as an add-on. How much additional would that cost?
- It depends on the package: 4,000 for Bronze, 5,000 for Silver, 6,000 for Gold. But unfortunately, we
do not offer this in Cebu right now as I have not yet found a supplier for such. Soon, hopefully =)
My event is outside Cebu City? What are the additional charges?
- It depends on how far the venue is from the city. But these charges may be waived as long as transportation will be provided (from and back to the city). Otherwise, charges may vary; from as low as php500 or up to php2000
* additional php500 for events at Shangri-La Mactan
I'd like to have PartyPics for my event but the venue is in Mindanao (or any other location outside Cebu not accessible by land)..? Would your package rates change?
- No, the same rates will still apply. However, keep in mind several things: air fare for 2, excess baggage charges, food and lodging. If these are all taken care of, then we're good!
I'd like certain pictures to be used for the layout. How soon can I see a sample?
- 2-3 days, depending on how many pictures you submitted for use. To expedite this, we suggest giving us specific details (e.g. preferred colors/motif, font/s, type of layout and special instructions, if any). For weddings, you can also send us a sample invitation and/or monogram aside from your prenup pics. Also, please make sure the pictures you email are high-resolution.
I'm pretty good with layouts... Can you use my design?
- Certainly! We've actually had several events where the client provided the layout. Just shoot me an email so I can send you a template and some guidelines to follow
